Around the middle of the 19th century, King George V and Queen Mary built St. George's Church on the old walls of a thirteenth century church. The master builder of this hall church was Conrad Wilhelm Hase. The long reverberation characteristic of a hall church can also be found here and, after a major renovation in 2018/19, could be effectively attenuated by the installation of CXM loudspeakers. Speech intelligibility has been considerably improved and hearing aid wearers can now listen more easily through their hearing aids by installing an induction system in accordance with DIN regulations.
In the thirteenth century in the then centre of Brunswick, probably on the initiative of Henry the Lion, it was one of the parish churches of the city. Between 1250 and 1400 it was converted into a Gothic hall church. The acoustic system we found was outdated in many parts and no longer corresponded to the current state of the art and transmission quality. The sound of the main nave is now supplied by two BSF24 digital loudspeakers, which, thanks to the selectively tiltable sound fields and the integrated DSP control, enable all church visitors to enjoy optimal speech intelligibility. In the high choir, two analogue BS1632 loudspeakers ensure a balanced sound for the events taking place there. The sound system is not only characterised by the finest sound, but also by simple and reliable operation.
Probably built in the 12th century, the Liebfrauenkirche is architecturally very interesting, as a Romanesque nave in the style of a basilica is connected to a chancel of a Gothic hall church. With a length of approximately 55 metres, this church has a very strong reverberation, specially in the altar and choir area, which until now, also in the rest of the main nave, reduces the speech intelligibility extremely. The installation of CXM loudspeakers in the main nave, CX speech loudspeakers in the chancel and a digital control via an SDA matrix amplifier has considerably reduced the reverberation in the room acoustics. Speech intelligibility is now optimally guaranteed at all seats. In addition, the loudspeakers also transmit music recordings dynamically and transparently.
The market church in Goslar, a three-nave Romanesque pillar basilica, was first mentioned in documents in 1151. After intensive comparison, the community decided on a transmission system of seis-akustik. The decisive factor was ultimately the outstanding sound quality with excellent speech intelligibility despite the very difficult acoustic conditions. Another decisive factor was the extremely appealing design of our loudspeakers as the "visible" components of the transmission system. The elegant and at the same time inconspicuous design allows a problem-free and pleasing integration into almost every ambience.
By order of Duke Julius, the construction of the main church Beatae Mariae Virginis was started in 1608. The main church in Wolfenbüttel has always been recognized by the scientific community as a highly individual and unique building. But it was not until 1926 that Georg Dehio formulated the main church in his "History of German Art" as the first and actually only artistically large-scale church building of Protestantism. Rainer Krause, Technical Director/Media Technology, now supplied the tailor-made concept for the renewal of the outdated sound technology. The new microphone system, controlled by the newly developed 12/6 matrix digital mixer SDM10, masters the difficult acoustic conditions with sovereignty and, in addition to good speech intelligibility, provides the prerequisite for high-quality music, instrumental and vocal transmissions. Churchgoers with hearing aids are optimally supplied by a modern induction system with constant current amplifier (according to DIN EN 60 118-4).
Excavations in the years 1873 - 77 and 1956 brought to light the remains of the foundations of the church consecrated in 1031. It is quite possible that this stone building from 1031 had a wooden predecessor (possibly 9th century). Only a fraction of the once very varied medieval furnishings and decorations of the Magnikirche have been preserved to this day. No other inner-city church in Braunschweig was so badly affected by the air raids during the 2nd World War as the Magnikirche.
Visible from afar, the enormous, three-nave, Gothic St. Andrew's Church with the highest church tower in Niedersachsen dominates Hildesheim's townscape. Its location, today's Andreasplatz, was the centre of economic life in the period from the 11th to the middle of the 13th century. It was at this prominent square that the long-distance hiking trail from Flanders via Aachen to Königsberg, today's Bundesstrasse 1, ran in the north, while at the same time the north-south trade route from Bremen to Mainz crossed this place. Around 1140 a three-nave basilica was built, which could be reconstructed in its original location in 1949/50 based on the results of excavations. At the end of the 13th century, the citizens planned the construction of a new large church. This church was to bear witness to the self-confidence and pride of the citizens and the importance of the town through its size and decoration. In the years 1956 - 1965 the St. Andrew's Church, which was destroyed in March 1945, was rebuilt in 11 construction phases in the old Gothic form on the outside and inside, but without the lost baroque furnishings and the painted flat ceiling.
